Currently, I use Smart Balance Omega 3 Buttery Spread on english muffins, bagel thins, etc. However, 80 calories per tbsp seems awfully high to me. Does anyone have any lower calorie alternatives that taste just as good?

    I use the real thing, sparingly. Or I have just done fruit spread, without butter, or even peanut or almond butter.

    As other options, I do use Skippy All Natural PB or Laughing Cow wedges. Sometimes I just want butter.

    Nothing tastes as good as butter. Use half a tablespoon instead of a whole one. 50 calories! And real!

    Greek yogurt! I spread Fage 0% on my toaster waffles with a drizzle of honey and it adds a creaminess like sour cream or cream cheese but without the cheesy flavor.

    Earth Balance has more calories and fat than Smart Balance and is made with the same natural oil blend.
